 \nTALK - What's in Store in 7.4 by Mark Baker\n---------------------------
 ------------------------------\nPHP 7.4 is scheduled to be released on Nov
 ember 21\, 2019. It’s the next minor release of PHP 7\, and will again b
 oost performance and improve code readability/maintainability.\n\nBut whil
 e PHP 7.3 was a relatively minor release\; the upcoming 7.4 release has a 
 lot more exciting additions and new features to improve the way we write o
 ur code\, not to mention a few “gotchas”. From the new “arrow functi
 ons” that are more than simply syntactic sugar for closures\, to Covaria
 nt Returns and Contravariant Parameters\; from typed properties\, to chang
 es in precedence of the concatenation operator.\n\nLet’s take a look at 
 what PHP 7.4 has to offer us as developers\, and what pitfalls it might cr
 eate for the unwary.\n\nAbout Mark Baker\n------------------------\nMark i
 s a Senior Software Engineer on the SMS team at MessageBird BV\, based in 
 Amsterdam.\nHe has been working in the computer software industry since be
 fore symbolics.com was registered as a domain name\, before the term "cybe
 rspace" was first used in fiction\, when Linus Torvalds and Rasmus Lerdorf
  were still at high school\, and Mrs. Zuckerberg had yet to give birth to 
 a bouncing baby social network enabler\; and has been developing for the W
 eb in a variety of languages since the days when the Tim Berners-Lee's cre
 ation comprised less than 1\,000 sites.\nHis particular interests include 
 PHP integration with office suites\, Generators\, Anonymous Functions and 
 Classes\, Datastructures\, Textual analysis\, Geodata and geographic infor
 mation systems\, and "big data" and data analysis.\n\nPARKING\nYou can par
